Weak
and Tired
People
We suppose all the women who
take care of a family and do their
own work are pretty tired come
night, but we are specially sorry for
those who don’t feel rested in the
morning.
“Do you suppose your Vinol
would do me any good?” said a
woman customer the other day.
I just drag refund. My work
seems an awful burden.”
We think Vinol will help you,”
said our clerk. “Our folks at
home use it. We have such faith
in it that we will pay the money
back if it doesn’t help you.”
She took a bottle of Vinol home,
and has since bought another bottie.
Vinol was sold last year on the
same guarantee. How many “ re
funds ” were there, do you think?
Less than two per cent.
In other words, Vinol did sue*
cessful work in ninety-eight cases
out of one hundred.
For two great classes, those
who can’t seem to gain strength
and those who are tired at nothing,
we say : “ Try Vinol on our guar
antee.”
For weak women, nursing moth
ers, old people, and puny children
we have found nothing to equal
Vinol.

The Grand Jury .1 resentn.ent*.
Editors The True Citizen:
As portions of the Grand Jury pre
sentments to appear in this week’s
issue oi your paper, may be constru
ed as a reflection upon officers of
the court a word of explanation
ought to appear in the same ir-sue.
The Grand Jury deserves unstint
ed praise for the earneat ett'wrt made
to discover and cring to justice, vio
lators ot the prohibition laws. It is
hardly conceivable, however, that
such a body of men, looking solely
to the good of society in the dis
charge ot official duty, would be un
just to the officers of ihe court for
no circuit in the state can boast of
an administration more able, more
fearless, or more conscientious, and
yet the foPowing language used by
the Grand Jury is calculated to
mislead, to-wit: “Legal technical!
ties iu the opinion of this jury were
invented for the special protection
of the wealthy ADd influential when
guilty of violations of the iaw,”
The difficulties encoumered were
no doubt trying to the Grand Jury
For instance, when they sought to
force the liquor dealers of Augusta
to produce their books, upon the
supposition that the books would
show that the dealers had allowed
commissions to certain merchants
in this county on sales of whisky or
dered through them, one of the
dealers refused to produce his
books. The solicitor sought to
have the court attach him for con
tempt. He answered that being a
non-resident wstness he was enti
tied, under the Code of Georgia, to
have been served with a subpoena
duces tecum 20 days in advance of
the time when the books were re
quired to be produced—whereas he
had received only three or four
days notice. Such i9 the law. The
court had uo power to override it,
and could not do otherwise than
discharge the rule. The solicitor
did not have the subpoena served
in advance of the session as the
Grand Jury had not so instructed
him and he could not have antici
pated that this evidence could have
been needed by them. Whether
th<- liquor dealer had allowed com
missions or not, it was quite natural
for him to take advantage of a
“technicality” that would prevent
the accounts of his customers from
being inspected by others.
It is true that upon "proper show
ing” the Judge might have compell
ed the Droductioo of the bobks inless
notice, under a bench subpoena, but
under the Constitution of the State
another ‘ technicality” arose in this
rase. No "proper showing” could
he maoe The Constitution pro
vides that “no person can be com
pelled to furnish evidence that may
tend to criminate him” Should a
liquor dealer ship whisky to third
persons in Burke chnntv upon the
orders of an intermediary and allow
such intermediary a commission on
the sales then not only the inter
mediary but the dealer also would
be liable to indictment. The penal
statute is—“any pei>on, who by
himself or agent shall take ‘orders
tor the sale of &c.” The judge very
properly so intimated upon dis
charging the rule.
It would have been useless there
fore for the court to have issued a
peremptory subpoena, for if the
books would have showu or even
tended to show the fact desired to
be established, he could have still
refused to produce, with the consti
tution of the state to back him, and
no court would dare compel him.
To force a man to produce evidence
that might “criminate him” would
bring back the terrors of the Inqui
sition and is utterly obnoxious to
our system of government.
So you perceive that the "techni
calities were invented” not by the
officers wf the court, but by the
framers of the constitution and by
the legislature, hacked up by num
erous decisions of the supreme court.
This was doubtless the idea that
was intended to have been convey
ed by our fearless and faithful grand
jurvj though the language used by
them might be capable of a con
struction not complimentary to the
officers of the court.
The grand jury complains of other
technicalities, a!I of which are of
like character.
They further state that “we have
conducted this investigation almost
unaided.” The presence of the so
licitor was required in the court
room upon the trial of criminal
cases, many of which were dispos
ed of while the grand jury was en
deavoring to investigate violations
of the liquor laws. Without his
presence it would have been impos
sible for the court to proceed. The
entire machinery of the “trial court
with its 48 jurors and its bailiffs
would have been completely block

ed. ihe judge had no power under
the law to furnish the grand jury
with additional counsel. Had tie
undertaken to do so without author
ity it might have invalidated every
indictment found.
Besides the attorneys in attend
ance upon thecouit, are generally
interested in the defense of persons
against whom ind’ctments may be
found and for hat cause may not
be qualified to di,-charge the du
ties of the solicitor. gggj
At any rate the law makes no
provision for the contingency. It is
a defect that only the Legislature
can remedy. JUSTICE.
